Try taking ownership of the My Documents folder on the other drive. Turn off Simple File Sharing in Folder Options, then go to the Security tab on the folder properties box, click Advanced, go to the Owner tab, make sure "replace owner on subcontainers and objects" is checked, and then take ownership of the folder. Then you should be able to access the stuff in the folder.
